Tune Ups?
What ever filter your using I would consider up grading to BHAF. If your using a stock box then grease the filter gasket to help seal it back up. The plastic box will deform over time and start to leak dust by.

Advice On Clutches
All depends on the flywheel thickness and the how ate up the face is. I've seen some flywheels take a just a bit of surface work and good to go. Then I've seen other that are way to far gone and need to be replaced. I did a clutch on 2005 Cummins and was shocked the friction disc was completely gone and chewed up and flywheel was virtually untouched how that happened I don't know but even with a straight edge it was in good shape.

Where Are The Young Entrepreneurs?
Like myself I'm constantly looking around me for different opportunities into different jobs. Like I'm considering now hoping back into computer support again with Linux machines being more and more popular with people around me locally have started considering the Linux operating system over Windows. I'm not going to put a bunch of hope into it working but it seems to be another void I can fill. Then with Ed Grafton with the high idle kits well he's got other things cooking on the stove and keeping me hoping with secret squirrel jobs and chours.

Air Dog Ii 165...yay Or Nay?
Personally I had too many phone calls of people have very very short life snaps from AirDog systems. I had one gent that replaced his AirDog 4 times in 1,000 miles and heading for his 5th pump. * Motor seals * Motor fails after short period * Geo-rotor issues (clocking required?) * Regulator issues on the adjustable systems * Quick connect fitting tend to leak air and loose prime. AirDog is not what it once was. What's sad is I know FASS went up in price. Assassin is having issues including regulator and geo-rotor problems too. Snapping belts from rotors binding up. No priming pump so if the system drains for some reason you better have a cordless drill with you. Fuel boss seems to be good pump being last I knew they kept the electric lift pump for a priming system but this adds more plumbing and check valve in the system hence the price is higher than Assassin. Tough call for fuel systems these days.

Anybody Running Dap Injectors?
I've ran the RV275's which where used from CajFlynn. Then now I'm running a +50HP from Vulcan Performance. I really do like the performance and they work awesome on a stock turbo without any issues.

I Want!
Like myself I love some of the bumper and grill guard ideas. But to this day I can't seem to do it for two reasons. 1. I really don't want to add more weight to the truck and heavy steel bummer is out and aluminium bumper won't be worth it if it can't guard a simple deer at lower speeds (attempt to stop). Front axle is already at 4,400 pounds and 5,200 is limit so considering the rough dirt roads and the extra weight pounding on the axle wouldn't help matters much. 2. The fact that it makes working the truck difficult climbing over the top of the grill guard. I like the ability of kneeing on the bumper and doing most all work. But I sure pay the price working on other trucks with grill guards and such usually take on my damage to my lower back and my knees.

Cirrus, Back In The Shop...
You should see the huge potholes McCall, ID has for city streets. What worse is the city continues to was money on cold patch so the plow can rip it back up. This has be a issue for many years and for a rich tourist town it shows me that they continue this method.

Fuel Boss Or Assassin
I vote for Fuel Boss. I heard issues in regards to Assassin Pump and their regulators. Wild up and down swings... Might ask around over at CumminsForum and there is a member here with Assassin pump as well.

Brakes Pulsing
Ouch... Might be a good idea to step up the maintenance / inspection schedule. I typically inspect my vehicles once a month and check basic things like this.

Power Steering Noise
The one pump I did change didn't have a screen. I do agree with W&F about air in thee system it does create some weird issues too sometimes its easier to jack up the front axle and go from lock to lock with it running to help push the air from the system too. Sometime you have to hold the RPM's up and go lock to lock to purge the air out.

Hello From Almost 1St Time Diesel Owner From Nj
Mechanical Gauges are a MUST. As for the VP44 I would look at DAP or Vulcan Performance for Injection pumps being both sell pumps with brand new electronics (PSG). As for the Assassin Pump its kind of questionable yet. Regulator issues? 4" exhaust would be best. As for injectors that is a wide topics and goes both ways. Depends on what you planing on doing to HP/TQ gains or MPG gains.

2001 24V
Oil pressure minimum limits is... 10 PSI at idle 30 PSI at 2,000 RPM's You passed the minimum levels. I think your getting a loss of prime and got a air leak in the fuel system.

Cr Mpg Conversation
EFI Live turn it back to a single injector event. Then figure out a proper timing map being that most CR engine are pretty retarded in timing stock wise. (At least what I remember of AH64ID's Smarty post).

Mp3 Music, Best Cheapest Music Source/player?
Actually the P2P (Peer To Peer) is still very active but its all over bit torrents now. Usually go out and hunt for what your looking for on the Torrent search engines like Torrentz.eu and use a client like Vuze to do the downloading. Be surprise what's out there to download. I tend to be a bit smart and use Proxy servers, IP block List and other means to stay hidden. Now with the laptop I can use a WiFi connection in a public place and pick up music and not be to worried.

Mp3 Music, Best Cheapest Music Source/player?
Ahh... The yes iPod. Still even then I've got a portable CD player (MP3 ready). Just yank my disc out of the truck and play it in the portable with computer speakers or ear buds. The only reason I never got into iPod was the battery issue. Being most all my portable devices at home are AA batteries and my Fire Bag and SAR's bag have AA batteries so I can enjoy music all the time and never worry about finding a USB charger. Just another point of view...

Mp3 Music, Best Cheapest Music Source/player?
I've got a simple MP3 deck in the truck. Just burn CD with MP3's and pop in the slot. 6-8 hours of music on one disc.
